CVE-2010-0307

27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2010-0307 is a local denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel on x86_64 platforms, specifically versions before 2.6.32.8, including various Canonical and Debian distributions. It arises from a flaw in the load_elf_binary function, allowing a 32-bit application to crash the system by attempting to execute a 64-bit application. With a CVSS score of 4.7 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C), this vulnerability has a medium attack complexity and requires local access, leading to a complete system availability impact. While not actively exploited in the wild or on the KEV catalog, public exploit code (EDB-33585) exists, and there has been some community discussion on Reddit regarding new kernel vulnerabilities in Ubuntu.
